TipsFor.us is giving away a brand new iPod Touch! It’s beautiful.

This lovely gadget has 8 GB of storage – enough for roughly 1,750 songs, 10,000 photos, or 10 hours of video. It has a glorious 3.5-inch widescreen multi-touch display with 480-by-320-pixel resolution.

The iPod Touch is far more than just a music player. You can view photos, watch movies and YouTube, surf the web, check e-mail, play games, browse the App Store, and even read Amazon Kindle books. See all features here.

Feeling adventurous? You can also install Skype/Fring on your new iPod Touch to make calls and send text messages.

Did we mention that it’s beautiful? Just look at it.

HOW TO ENTER

There are several ways to enter, but only one of them is required.

All you have to do to enter is subscribe to TipsFor.us, either via e-mail updates or through our RSS feed. We have just added a code word to the bottom of our articles. The code word is only visible in the e-mail or RSS feed, so you have to subscribe. If you don’t already use an RSS reader, we suggest Google Reader.

Once you see the code word – and you will see it, complete this short entry form, which includes a few questions about your technology interests. No personally identifying information will be shared with outside parties for any reason.

The entry form includes a place to enter the correct code word. Without it, your entry will be deleted. One lucky entrant will be chosen at random.
